Wonderful submitted by steveiew on June 19, 2018, 2:52pm It's great to finally have a female superhero movie in this era of renewed interest is superheros. The movie was well done and entertaining. I was a little disappointed with the significance they gave the romance but still enjoyed the movie.

FINALLY! submitted by VanCancue on June 20, 2018, 7:39pm A female super hero portrayed with more substance rather than the superficial. A perfect blend of strong and gentle. Just wished they used her theme music a little more and especially as she enter's no mans land. LOVED IT!!!!

The Female Superhero Movie We Deserve submitted by Meginator on July 7, 2018, 1:46pm It took a while in the current glut of superhero films to finally bring a female superhero to the big screen in a major studio production, but Wonder Woman is well worth the wait. Gal Godot is excellent as Diana Prince, bringing depth and heart to the character and making her pop off of the screen while kicking serious butt in the action scenes. The film itself manages to craft a compelling origin story that adds to the film while advancing the characters. At no point does it feel like the Patty Jenkins is simply going through the motions, and the filmmaking is top notch in every respect, from the script and casting to costuming. This is a superhero movie with real stakes and real depth, proving that women can do anything men can do, in the DC Shared Universe or in our own world.

a nice romp submitted by lisa on August 14, 2018, 2:35pm tho really i wish we'd just stayed on the island with the wimmin

Great submitted by Claireywang on September 8, 2018, 1:54pm This movie is seriously great. You should watch it.

Terrible! submitted by mellonir on April 23, 2019, 7:02pm I hate superhero movies!
Hollywood is lazy and unimaginative and that's why they keep making them.
I've been reading comics since I was 3!
Every comic book and animation character does not need a live-action take!
This was more like an ad for cosmetics!
Hollywood, please stop with superhero movies!
The Emperor wears no clothes!

Girl power submitted by AprilCDB on August 15, 2019, 8:46pm It’s nice to see some strong powerful female super hero’s. Very good movie, enjoyed it.

Wonder Woman 2017 submitted by Varshini on August 21, 2019, 9:55pm Wonder Woman was pretty good. The visuals were nice, but the story was lacking in some spots. 4/5 stars.

Worth your time! submitted by parlettes on July 18, 2020, 12:49am It was great to finally see a female hero-driven story. While the romance was a bit much, this movie opened the door to others that are may follow it. I really enjoyed the painstaking details put into the scenery.

Good movie submitted by mshivaprasad on July 22, 2020, 3:35pm Loved the plot, storyline, everything! Definitely watch it!

Overpromised, Overhyped submitted by sVfGI7Glt2pz7GZgVB90 on August 2, 2020, 7:10am I grew up reading---and loving---Wonder Woman comics and I was so eager to hear a live-action film was forthcoming But Gal Gadot's acting is awful, she is wooden, inexpressive and can't deliver dialogue or heroics. Director Patty Jenkins is just as disappointing. The action and dialogue were so unsavory that I felt I was watching a insipid fan film done by inexperienced people who never made a film before.

Lead submitted by Clown81 on July 5, 2022, 2:24pm I liked the lead actress in this film.

look up submitted by sandri on July 25, 2022, 1:47pm its great to have a female superhero who little girls can look up to.
